Friday Open – NiS – Charlotte
- David – P wrecked out late
- Brad- P11 after starting p8. Finally finished this race. The previous attempts for 2025 and 2024 ended in DNFs. The first third of the race was tame but ended up with some damage mid race, got that fixed but lost a lap due to a yellow during green flag stops. The field could not get gathered up in time so none of the lapped down cars could get the wave around. Finally got back on the lead lap only to get damaged and spend about 80 laps driving off pace. Damage was finally fixed and had made it back up to p8 for last restart and forgot to reverse the adjustments I made for the damaged car. Last run the car was wrecking loose and I dropped a few spots. Overall after my past history, I was happy with p11.
- Kyle – P11 had a yo yo of a race. But had one of the strongest cars of the race. Started 16 and just bounced back and forth from top 5- top 15. Lap 87 caution and its tim to take my pee break. Come out 25th and just rocket towards the front. Battled the leader for 4 laps and even sniffed the lead for a half of a lap. Just couldn’t keep from burning up my tires and the tires just died a long painful death and I just fell back to P11.
Sunday Open- NiS – Charlotte
- David – Pwrecked early by a typical asshole
- Tony – P10 tale of 2 races. 1st half was top 5 had a fast car. Got lead 176 laps in lead 12 laps than a fuck stick lap car decided to yeet it in the corner was me up than got pissed and just turned me. I hope you get a burning std. Was still on lead lap minding my own business and GF stops and hit the damn shitty bumps on pit exit. I hope Marcus Smith gets the same STDs. Welp spent rest of the race 2 laps down. Least i finished the race
Sunday Fixed- NiS – Charlotte
- Mike- P start a 25th got to 16 by lap four. Drove it up to seventh by lap 40 but a guy tried to arc into the corner and push me into the wall and got me involved in the first caution. During that caution, I get dumped from the server disconnected. My Cox Internet went down for almost 3 or four minutes before I was able to reconnect even my phone wasn’t working. Got back on track six laps down. There’s another caution I get my repairs. I’m coming around to catch up to the field. My screen freezes a full 3 to 4 seconds as it comes back to life. I’m in the wall hard. I’m knocked the right front off the car is completely destroyed. I have a red packet loss symbol with warnings from the crew chief about my connection. I put it on pit too much damage we’re done
Wednesday Open -NiS – Nashville
- David – P14, had to come back from 4 minutes damage, was up to 11th and the car infront of me got spun, had to check up and lost a few spots
- Brad- P32 – Started p17 after a spin during qualifying. I never was able to make any progress to the front but did manage to avoid some early wrecks. Restarted in top 10 about mid race but a check up on the restart gave me nose damage but no incident points. The car was a slug till getting in to fix the 40 seconds of damage. The car felt great on the restart and was starting to make way back towards the front only to get collected in a front stretch spinner that I could not avoid. The sets from Premier are great this week, just have not been able to avoid the bad luck.
Thursday Open- NiS – Nashville
- Mike- P3- ran somewhere between fifth and 10th most of the race kept it out of trouble and finished a very respectable P3. David had a great call with a late pitstop to take two tires. However, the person who didn’t pit actually won the race.
- David – P10, got spun in some tight racing, caution didn’t come out for a few laps but did, was able to get back to field, 10 was about how fast i was
Official Series
A Open
- Brad W – P12 (Nashville) Started 11th and drove up to the front. We had an early yellow so only took two tires to get the lead. I was fine out front for the first 20 laps but the tire call did not play out. I tried to make it on fuel but could not, so had to pit and could never recover the spots.
